From September 10th to 12th, 2024, we proudly hosted the fourth project meeting in the Karawanken-Karavanke UNESCO Global Geopark (Austria/Slovenia).
The meeting took place at our visitor centre, Geo.Dom, located at the pilot site on Petzen/Peca Mountain. During the meeting, the HUMANITA project partners discussed and resolved various topics related to human versus nature conflicts, including the impact of tourism on protected areas. The discussions also focused on innovative methods for upcoming activities, progress made so far, and concrete plans and activities for the future to promote visitor-friendly approaches and nature conservation.
During the meeting, we also held a press conference and an introductory workshop to engage the public and stakeholders in observing invasive alien species in the Geopark through citizen science.
On the final day, we embarked on an excursion - a guided tour of Podzemlje Pece, including a bicycle trip through the tourist mine.
